Would you please describe the possible effects of Pamelor (Nortriptyline) on Bladder/Voiding function? I've been informed that retention is a possible side-effect, but what is the mechanism causing the retention with the Pamelor? Can a low dose of Pamelor, i.e. 20mg, cause the bladder dysfunction? Is Pamelor use not advised with a coexisting Bladder Outlet Obstruction due to an enlargement of the prostate. Thanks for the reply.
